I wanted a pedal as a training device, and this was one of the more affordable options on Thomann. The first time I received it, it was bricked/didn’t work. I was aware that this was an issue on the cheaper HB pedals but thankfully Thomann customer service replied fast and sent me an extra power supply to make sure that wasn’t the problem, and when it was sure it wasn’t a power supply problem, was able to replace the pedal quickly free of charge.
The pedal itself is of metal construction, very solid. This is my first pedal so I have nothing to compare it to, and I’m still a beginner with electric guitars. Took a while to get the timings right - imagine sheet music bars, you have to push the pedal just as you’re playing the first note and press again to loop just before you play the first note in the second bar. Haven’t tested unlimited overdubs but having 3 different tracks is nice. Can’t tell a noticeable difference between the tone before and after, but I’m just running an Ibanez Gio GRG140 into a Blackstar Fly 3, and I’m assuming that if you have a more expensive setup or gig then you’ll probably get a more expensive looper. I just play in my dorm and no experience gigging.
That aside, if I didn’t get the bricked pedal, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this looper. I live in EU so the returns not a lot of hassle for me, but buying something and gambling 50/50 whether it works or not shouldn’t be an issue. It’s affordable, does the job, and excellent customer support from Thomann.
